....key element in this technique is driving the right elbow across the torso.... creates powerful whipping / lagging of the lower arm and racket into ball

Flaw: do not let the racket fall behind your back. Keep it in front of torso for a linear path into the ball. A circular path from behind the back is less powerful and difficult to time correctly

Unit turn with both hands on racket to effect good shoulder turn. Racket stays in front of torso. Strings (on side that impacts ball) faces back fence. Bend knees. Left leg and hip initiate swing. Racket flips face down and butt cap pulled forward with right elbow transversing the torso. Brush up low to high. Extend left knee and rotate forearm thru impact maintaining cup in right wrist. Finish over left shoulder with elbow skyward
